What's the Big ID? (2009)

When you first meet someone, do you define yourself by the job you do? A teacher, maybe, or a lawyer, or a housewife. Why not a sucker for art, a glutton for sunsets, or a disciple of chocolate? The main task of adolescence is to achieve an identity. Any identity. This is nothing to do with self-knowing. That's the novel - this is the short story. In this personal narrative, the walking girl asks what is your label, your membership card, when you don't have a career to fall back on? What is the big ID?
